Diablo-D3: but that just adds to the fact I hate how that works
Diablo-D3: I agree
mircea_popescu: or should i say, publicly released.
Diablo-D3: and the reason I didnt have a website first is because thats not how things have been done in bitcoin
Diablo-D3: _I_ don't like surprises.

mircea_popescu: again, i have no doubt that you're earnestly trying.
Diablo-D3: although it may not look it, but I really have been pricing out what we need

Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: the only thing I need to do is add to the plan more specifics about the datacenter now that I've worked out the cost and planning for it
mircea_popescu: mno. i could just as well point out that it's because mpex went from 300k to ~5mn valuation, it's mpex that people are speaking about.
